For anyone interested,
I'm starting a new series that will appear regularly on Smug Bastard Cabal. Its called "What the Fuck is wrong with you?!?!?!?!?!" I'll stasrt off with this little story from Mumbai. Apparently, one of the city's newest restaurants is called "Hitler's Cross". Yup. It's named after that Hitler. The entire restaurant sports a Nazi motif. A couple of choice quotes from the management:
or
Guys, You. Named. Your. Restaurant. After. One. Of. The. Wurst (pun intended). Monsters. Of. The. Twentieth. Century. The only thing you're going to be staying in people's minds as is complete douchebags. You really don't want to be remembered as "different in the way he was different". He was Hitler. You know, really, really BAD. Here's a hint. He killed a lot of your countrymen in WWII. Bad. No.
I mean even if you can get past the obvious fact that, oh yeah, your restaurant is named after a really bad guy, Nazis just don't bring good food and good fun to people's minds. Luftwaffles? Sorry, just not my idea of yummy. Maybe a burger with a side of "mach fries"? Eeewww.
In short, what the fuck is wrong with you?!?! What the fuck were you thinking?!?! Were you on drugs? Did you think it would be funny? What?

"We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people's minds," owner Punit Shablok told Reuters.

"We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different."
